Help against league leader

[khris]

I have played exactly the same game... First leg 1-4 and after 22 minutes my opponent leading 1-2, i've turn the mentality to 'attack', defense 'pressure', tackles 'hard'... At the end i won 7-2. Direction cross bar change a soon as i've change mentality and pressure.

The bar, is the key. As I mentioned, the "center" of the bar, is displaced, rarely is at the exact 50%, so to control the game you need to know first of all, where is this virtual center, then you can test setting and, it is reactive, usually in just 2-5 seconds, or the upcoming animation, you will see the effect in the bar.

Good luck, and as always, this isn't about tactics, or even formations, in this game doesnt exist the concept " defensive playing style", or "set the bus", like Mou does.
All settings exist to give you the control, so by control it means, attacking chances/animations. There is a pressure line -attack, defense, very defensive etc and a side , right center, left - where your team gets the control easily and then the animations are given to you.

Then once you're dominating the chances, there is another important matter, which is, to make effective the chances, converting them in goals.
This depend on the players, and once you get the match control, if they miss continously, means you'll need a sub, switch players, switch FKs or corners man if they missed like 2 chances or, as last option, do a concentration of players in attack, by doing a minor formation change, just moving 1 player from one line to another usually.
